Default The Noose Tightens

Quote:
A devastating attack on Mr Blair's justification for military action by Carne Ross, Britain's key negotiator at the UN, has been kept under wraps until now because he was threatened with being charged with breaching the Official Secrets Act.
In the testimony revealed today Mr Ross, 40, who helped negotiate several UN security resolutions on Iraq, makes it clear that Mr Blair must have known Saddam Hussein possessed no weapons of mass destruction. He said that during his posting to the UN, "at no time did HMG [Her Majesty's Government] assess that Iraq's WMD (or any other capability) posed a threat to the UK or its interests."
Mr Ross revealed it was a commonly held view among British officials dealing with Iraq that any threat by Saddam Hussein had been "effectively contained".
Bush and cheney are crapping their jammies.

That's interesting. Got to figure Great Britain's intelligence is pretty good. Wonder if its politically swayed at all, Gomez?

Probably because it isn't. As much as people like to criticize the course to war, and validly I must add, the bottom line will always move to the resolution itself, and Saddams non-compliance.
